'I just need you to get those same sentiments, those same feelings on a record,' Tip recalls the producer telling him.By Hillary Crosley

It's no secret that T.I. is experiencing a difficult time in his career. The Atlanta rapper was on the cusp of releasing his comeback album, then titled King Uncaged, following a one-year prison stint when he was arrested once again. Tip was sentenced to 11 months for violating his parole and shipped back to the same Arkansas facility he'd just left.
But through it all, the MC found inspiration for the track "Get Back Up" from his now-titled No Mercy album.
"Yeah, 'Get Back Up,' produced by Pharrell of the Neptunes, one of the most passionate, genuine, artistic guys that I've met in the game and has had a hand in my movement since my very first album," T.I. said. "He was one of the first big producers to work with me."
Tip said the pair reconnected and were recording for his then-forthcoming seventh LP when disaster struck.
"Prior to my arrest, we had done about three or four songs, considerably hot records, some of which you'll definitely be hearing on this project," T.I. said during our exclusive "RapFix Live" interview. "But ... I left out the studio, and the next day, I go to jail, or I get arrested, which took me in a whole 'nother, different direction.
"When all of these things started coming to pass, Pharrell called me like, 'Hey, man, somebody somewhere is trying to tell you something,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, you know, that may be,' " the MC continued. "Then we had a conversation at length about how I felt about the media's portrayal of my circumstances. And he said, 'You know what? That's what you need to say in a song.' And I say, 'Man, I ain't talking about no music right now, P.' And he say, 'But that's what they wanna hear, that's what you need to tell 'em. Just ride with me on this. I'mma get it to you, and I just need you to get those same sentiments, those same feelings on a record.' I said, 'All right, man, give it to me.' "
It didn't take the talented producer long to craft a beat perfect for Tip's emotions.
"So it might've been a week or two later, he called me and it might've been at 4 o'clock in the morning, like, 'I got it!' " T.I. recalled. "I immediately heard the potential, I immediately heard that this was a special record, a personal record, a statement record ... and one that could be delivered with humility and not as defensive as it may sound in conversation if I said it."

Management is not a popularity contest
Dear Bob ... I've just started as a manager in a new company. I have a team of eight reporting to me, and I have a distinct sense of being the outsider -- which, of course, I am, but this feels different. No matter what the topic, I see people exchanging meaningful glances, nudging each other, and otherwise acting as though they're party to an inside joke.juliana ramos car accident

Ke$ha Pokes Fun At Disney In New Funny Or Die Clip
Pop singer plays a dirty Disney princess in online parody.By Jocelyn Vena
Ke$ha in Funny or Die's "Disney's Princess Ke$ha" video
Photo: Funny Or Die
Ever wonder what it would be like if Disney gave Ke$ha her very own movie? Well wonder no more, since the folks over at Funny or Die have dreamed up a new Ke$ha-starring satire, "Disney's Princess Ke$ha."
The clip opens with Ke$ha in a castle bedroom addressing her animated pals, complaining about her alarm clock waking her up. "Oh that clock. What a killjoy," she says as she stares out of her window in the castle tower. Just as she begins singing a very Disney melody, she proclaims it "gross" and says "f--- it," before kicking off a signature Ke$ha-style tune, complete with her rap-sing style and club-ready beat.
"Time to get the day going/ Dress it up to the nines/ Yo, critter crew/ Make Princess Ke$ha look fine," she sings. "Add a little pinch of magic from my fairy-tale life and off we go." Then she goes into the chorus: "I'm getting ready so nice / I'm getting customized."
The pop star is later catapulted into the real world. In an alley, she meets up with an animated rat, a pumpkin and a cross-dressing hobo fairy godmother. The rat and pumpkin are transformed into a shopping cart and a man who take off with Ke$ha.
This is the singer's second appearance on the site. Last November she appeared in a clip where she jokingly explained "The Story of the $."
"I used to be Kesha with an S, instead of a dollar sign, and then one year I had my birthday party at Shakey's Pizza," she said in the clip. "On the sign, the big sign where they write 'Happy birthday,' they replaced the S with a dollar sign. It ruined my life. I wanted to be a CPA, but you know who H&R Block doesn't hire? People with dollar signs in their name. I pretty much had to be a pop star."

SAG Awards Seating Chart: Where 'Glee' Sits Next To 'True Grit'
For Sunday's awards show, producer explains science behind celebrity seating.By Kelly Marino

LOS ANGELES — The Screen Actors Guild Awards are coming up on Sunday, and preparations are already well under way at the Shrine Auditorium. The stage is coming together, the list of presenters is close to being finalized and, most importantly, the seating arrangements are being mapped out.
"It depends on the size of the cast," SAG Awards producer Kathy Connell explained when MTV News asked how the seating chart is determined. "It also depends on if they were here the year before. If the TV cast was down front, we are probably going to put them further back this year. We also try to be democratic between film and TV."
The ceremony will take place in an intimate dinner setting where both film and TV actors will be seated next to their peers. Throughout the show, the celebrities can nosh on food provided by Lucques Catering and sip on Dry Creek wine and Taittinger Champagne while they celebrate one another's work.
The Guild seats the film casts next to the TV casts in order to allow everyone to visit and mingle in between acts. For example, the first few tables located in the front of the venue have place cards for the cast of "True Grit" seated next to the cast of "Glee." Moving more toward the center of the room reveals the actors of "The Kids Are All Right" seated next to the guys from "30 Rock." And a quick look around the rest of the room shows the ensemble from "The Closer" seated next to "Modern Family," who are across from the cast of "The Fighter" and "Hot in Cleveland."
"Actors are actors. They don't care that they are on TV. In fact, you know, film actors are very, very fond of watching actors on TV and vice versa," Connell said.
The 17th annual SAG Awards will air live on TNT and TBS this Sunday at 8p.m. ET from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Andre 3000 Pops Up On Ke$ha's 'Sleazy' Remix
Outkast MC freshens up the pop star's Cannibal cut with rare feature.By Mawuse Ziegbe

It seems the only way to find spankin'-new Andre 3000 lyrics these days is on the odd remix, and the ATLien definitely picked a left-of-center choice for his latest feature.
On Friday (January 14), a remix of Ke$ha's Cannibal track "Sleazy" hit the Web, outfitted with some brand-new bars from the elusive Outkast MC. The southern spitter uses the revamp to muse about a young kid dealing with a deadbeat dad over the song's bouncy thump.
"We start out so cute in our baby pictures/ That mama shot for our daddy so that he wouldn't forget you/ He forgot anyway, but hey, one day he'll remember/ If not, he's human, I'm human, you human, we'll forgive him," he spits.
After sounding off about daddy issues, Stacks then rhymes about his playful relationship with the glitter-friendly poptress.
"I call her Keisha, she like it because it's hood to her/ She call me Andre 6000 because I'm good to her," he says.
The remix follows a slew of random guest appearances on records by everyone from DJ Unk to Rich Boy as fans await another full-length release from 'Dre. Back in 2008, the Love Below lyricist broke down his affinity for jumping on the occasional remix to MTV News, explaining that cooking up another quality solo record is no easy task.
"I've been doing remixes here and there, and let me tell you, thank God for remixes. I wanna tell everybody who's been checking out the remixes and things like the John Legend song ['Green Light']: In this day and age, those are the things that have kind of been keeping me alive. Because it takes me awhile to record albums," he said. "I have to kind of build up something to say."

Charlie Sheen Returns To Rehab
'Two and a Half Men' has been put on immediate hiatus.By Kara Warner

Hours after Charlie Sheen was released from the hospital following a hiatal hernia, he has checked himself into rehab.
According to Deadline, Sheen's publicist revealed that the "Two and a Half Men" star had "voluntarily entered an undisclosed rehabilitation center." In a statement to the site, Sheen's rep said he was "most grateful to all who have expressed their concern" but asked that his privacy be respected at this time.
Variety reports that CBS, the network that produces "Two and a Half Men," has announced that the show has been put on an immediate hiatus, due to their lead actor's return to rehab.
It's been a rough few months for Sheen. Just before he was rushed to the hospital Thursday, the actor was said to have been partying hard with a number of adult-film stars at his Hollywood home for several days. One of the porn stars, Kacey Jordan, reportedly tweeted a provocative photo of herself from inside Sheen's home a short time before the star's collapse.
This is the TV actor's second trip to rehab in less than a year. Last February, Sheen checked into rehab as a "preventative measure." Sheen's time spent at the Promises of Malibu drug-treatment center was counted toward a 30-day jail sentence imposed by a Colorado judge in connection to domestic-violence charges. Sheen was arrested on Christmas Day 2009 after then-wife Brooke Mueller told police the actor had threatened her with a knife.
Sheen was also hospitalized back in October after suffering what his spokesperson described as an "adverse allergic reaction" to prescription medication.

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Lyrics: Fans Weigh In!
Little monsters give high marks to upcoming single's lyrics, with one calling singer 'our generation's John Lennon.'By Jocelyn Vena

Lady Gaga's little monsters seem to love the lyrics to "Born This Way," which the singer released in full on Thursday. Gaga sings about equality and love, and it's that message that her fans are relating to most.
"This is awesome! I love it. She sings about equality for not only gays, lesbians, transgenders, etc., but for people of all races," Lucy wrote on MTV.com. "She's like our generation's John Lennon."
Booklady added, "I love it and I can't wait to hear it! Definitely powerful and resonant in times like these."
Gaga, who recently told Ellen DeGeneres that she'll be performing the song at the Grammy Awards, has fans going crazy to hear the final version of the track. Ryan wrote, "I love it. Can't wait till Feb. 13. Gaga is going 2 sing it! Can't wait till I hear it with rhythm and her voice. Baby I was born this way."
"It's official. SHE'S A LEGEND!!!" Chifi55 wrote about the track, which was written and co-produced by Gaga with production help from Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow.
"Gorgeous, beautiful," Fame Monster said of the lead single off Gaga's May album of the same name. "Will win song of the year at 2012 Grammys."
dQuiggz continued that "Lady Gaga is on her way to inspiring world peace, one sequin at a time. ... These lyrics are beautiful, original, and are something that anybody and everybody can relate to."
"I LOVE IT!!! Goosebumps," Francesco wrote. "It's not just about the lgbt community, it's about human beings and how we are born the way we are."
Even music lovers who aren't little monsters seem to be appreciating what Gaga is saying in the song. Irene noted, "I'm not a huge Gaga fan, but I'm for anyone willing to spread a message of peace. I'll take it. Effort-FTW."

Cher Voices Frustration Over 'Burlesque' Oscar Song Snub
'We didn't get a nomination 4 best song! That sucks!' the icon tweeted about 'You Haven't Seen the Last of Me.'By James Dinh
Cher in "Burlesque"

After the Academy Award nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, "Burlesque" star Cher made it clear she wasn't going to be celebrating with the nominees.
The icon wasn't pleased with the lack of recognition for her Diane Warren-penned tune "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from the flashy musical, and she took to Twitter to express her frustration. While it was overlooked by the Academy, the "Burlesque" song recently scored a Golden Globe for Best Original Song.
"We didn't get a nomination 4 best song ! That sucks ! Diane's song Is so beautiful !" Cher wrote. "It's hard to understand how u win." Then she referred to her Globes win: "The Golden Globe 4 BEST SONG & not even get nominated by the OSCARS? Oh well it is..what it is ,,,,the sun is still shining !"
Baffled by the snub, Cher even contemplated whether it was her role as the song's performer that impacted its Oscar odds, writing, "maybe she would have had a better chance if someone else was singing it ?!! IT JUST CANT B HER SONG I"
The Golden Globes are typically seen as a good forecast for the Oscars, but the awards aren't a guarantee of Oscar love. A handful of stars from Oscar-nominated movies weren't recognized by the Academy, including Mila Kunis ("Black Swan"), Andrew Garfield ("The Social Network") and Julianne Moore ("The Kids Are All Right").

After the Academy Award nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, "Burlesque" star Cher made it clear she wasn't going to be celebrating with the nominees.
The icon wasn't pleased with the lack of recognition for her Diane Warren-penned tune "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from the flashy musical, and she took to Twitter to express her frustration. While it was overlooked by the Academy, the "Burlesque" song recently scored a Golden Globe for Best Original Song.
"We didn't get a nomination 4 best song ! That sucks ! Diane's song Is so beautiful !" Cher wrote. "It's hard to understand how u win." Then she referred to her Globes win: "The Golden Globe 4 BEST SONG & not even get nominated by the OSCARS? Oh well it is..what it is ,,,,the sun is still shining !"
Baffled by the snub, Cher even contemplated whether it was her role as the song's performer that impacted its Oscar odds, writing, "maybe she would have had a better chance if someone else was singing it ?!! IT JUST CANT B HER SONG I"
